This is a transition.
I'm going from a place I never thought I would leave.
To a place I never thought I would be.
Thinking of someone else other than you, as part of me.

Oh man, this is so funny.
It's incredibly hilarious how things simply change.
How things can simply go away.
How strangers come of lovers.

This is different. I am here.
I have no expectations.
My love and my life are free.

I want to yell at the top of my ****** up lungs
Debri will fly out of my mouth
Like the smoke that I inhale
As I think of the fastest way to die

What is it that I feel toward myself?
That's the better question
I'm tired of thinking I'm tired of feeling
That when anything is possible why can't I die

Ayudame, help me
Talking to my mind
My soul my soul why do you break yourself
Berate yourself as if tomorrow is but a dream

What do you want to do? I ask,
Ready to hear the same answer
The answer that we all want
To Save The World.

But from what?
What is it that is plaguing us?
Is it people like them?
That say they want to Save The World
And instead they light a bowl and inhale their heads.

What are you doing? What is your role?
You say you want to Save The World,
but from what?
Is it from people like you that trust the universe so wholeheartedly,
Anything is possible.

That is who I am.
Before I pick up a piece of garbage from the ground,
I light a cigarette.
I inhale, and I trust the universe.

If the world is ever in trouble, I'll be in the front lines.

It's not about you anymore
I'm growing, and growing and growing
Higher than anything and anyone
I am becoming myself
Realization is at the tip of my tongue

Merely two decades, that's what I am
That is how long I have been here
Two decades
How the **** do I know I love you?
Only you?

All around me, empires are falling
And mine is still standing on a base of lies
Lies lies lies lies lies
It should be the greatest sin

My happiness confuses the **** out of me
I think I'm ready
To tell the truth?
Hah, the thought makes me laugh

I think I'm ready
To tell the truth
Through one, more, lie

I heard somewhere that we are the making of our environments
So if I hang around trees
Will that make me a giver of life to earth
An old, growing, big piece of brocolli

I am alone in my room,
& all I'd like is a kiss from you.

Remember that time, I thought I couldn't curse in front you
Because you're God looked down upon people who smoke and have ***
Remember when we smoked together
& You didn't know how to hold a cigarette

Have I corrupted you?
Have I made you want to be something you're not?
What I want from you, is that boy
Who made jokes out of everything.

I remember when I fell in love with you.
When you put that cigarette to your mouth
Inhaled and coughed.
I swear I saw you come alive.
